I love looking through magazines too! I really like blog hops (especially the CTMH stamp of the month ones... he he) I also like the websites for Paper Crafts & Moxie Fab -- that's a GREAT site for trends and what's cool.

Sometimes I just have to go into a scrapbook store for inspiration. I need to just be surrounded by the supplies. I may not find a product I want, but I can be inspired in new ways.

I find that I tend to look for things that aren't made yet - like I wanted to do a recipe book before they were cool or right now, I'd LOVE to find Michigan & it's tourist spots - that I like. Some exist, but they do all 50 states. It's not the same, not what I want. But I have some day trips that I'd like to scrapbook.

Lately I've been attending an informal Friday night crop at a church in the next town over from me. Several of my crafting buddies go too. I try to look at what others are working on and how they like to design their pages.

Many of the gals have a Cricut and do a lot of letters and make their own cut-outs for 3 dimensional images. I don't have a Cricut but it's fun to see some of the cute cut-outs!

I read the various magazines...especially love Scrapbooks, Etc... and then I pull the pages I want to duplicate in the future and put them in a folder. I arrange them according to the number of photos in the LO. It is a great resource when scrapbooking.
